The world is facing major social and environmental challenges in ways that are difficult to comprehend. Complexity, uncertainty and change are now the norm and new interdisciplinary and transformative approaches are needed to understand and shape that change. CECHR provides an exciting opportunity to do this by bringing together some of the best social and environmental researchers in the UK from the University of Dundee and the James Hutton Institute. I am very pleased to be part of this exciting endeavour and to be able to help build on the previous successes of this important initiative. Professor Ioan Fazey
With Professor Fazey comes a new structure to CECHR. Building upon the interdisciplinary nature of CECHRs work we welcome new Associate Directors from across the University of Dundee and the James Hutton Institute.
